Vauban is the next Warframe to receive an update to his abilities, to better scale for Steel Path and newer content. Since Valkyr’s and Oberon’s reworks, we can expect Vauban’s kit to become more relevant in the current meta and easier for players to pick up. Here are all the changes that DE has planned for Vauban.
All Reworked Abilities
Tesla Nervos
- Roller drones will now try to maximize the distance between them for better AoE coverage.
- Status Chance will scale with Ability Strength
- Ragdolled enemies will now be targeted by roller drones
- Drones will be given a visual trail to better track their movement
- The Tesla Bank augment mod will add a visual mark for easier target prioritization
Minelayer
- Tether Coil and Flechette Orb will be merged into one mine.
- Vector Pad and Overdrive will also be merged into one mine.
- The new Tether-Flechette mine can now stick to walls and ceilings.
- The Vector-Overdrive deployable will also provide movement speed and damage buffs, in addition to its directional push.
- Vetor-Overdrive buffs are also applied to companions
- Tapping the Minelayer button deploys the Tether-Flechette mine, while holding the button deploys the Vector-Overdrive mine.
Photon Strike
- Photon Strike now applies forced Blast procs on enemies hit by the ability.
- Now deals double damage to enemies with Overguard
- Ability energy cost is reduced
- Ability radius is slightly increased
- Enemies crowd-controlled by the Bastille ability no longer get ragdolled by Photon Strike
- The Photon Repeater augment has been reworked: If Photon Strike hits at least 5 enemies, the next Photon Strike can be cast with no Energy cost and will strike two additional times.
Bastille
- Bastille can now affect an infinite number of enemies within its radius, but has a limit on active Bastilles and Vortexes
- Bastille has an increased armor bonus cap and generation rate gained for Vauban and allies inside the Bastille.
- Ragdolled enemies will still be affected by Bastille’s armor strip effect.
- The Repelling Bastille augment mod has been reworked: Enemies are no longer replenished from the Bastille. Instead, killing an enemy inside the Bastille increases the ability’s duration by 2 seconds. The Vortex function for this mod remains the same.
